Library Requirements

Tux Paint uses a number of Open Source libraries. Users of pre-packaged versions of Tux Paint (e.g., Windows or Mac OS X) receive the necessary libraries when they download and install Tux Paint. Linux users who download Tux Paint packages from this website, or who wish to compile Tux Paint from source-code, may need to find and download the necessary libraries. Linux users who download Tux Paint from their distribution (e.g., via "apt-get" in Debian) should receive the necessary library packages when they go to install Tux Paint.

Note: If you wish to compile from source-code, be sure to also install the corresponding '-devel' versions of the libraries (e.g., "libsdl1.2-devel").
